Bred by Jean Pernet Ducher 1895
Early Hybrid Tea
Dr. Grill X Lady Mary Fitzwilliam
A gem from the early days of Hybrid Teas. Antoine Rivoire was a huge succes for Pernet Ducher and she stayed popular for decades.
Light pink, high centered buds and typical Hybrid Tea blooms in small clusters or borne solitary. Moderate but delicious fragrance. Blooms freely all summer long. Makes a good rounded shrub 80X80 cm or 3X3 feet. Zone 6b to 10b
This rose has a special place in the heart of rosarians in Texas. Nearly all nurseries sell Antoine Rivoire and they admit it's a special rose. She is gorgeous.
Antoine Rivoire is probably one of the parents of famous Ophelia
